Traveling through the 80s and marrying a rough man

Chapter 29 Growing Vegetables
There are several plots of land behind the house where the educated youths lived, which were reclaimed by the educated youths who used to be here to grow vegetables.

Now there are only three male educated youths left, some of the land is deserted, Xu Xiaoyun intends to pull out the weeds inside, but there are many leftover vegetable seeds in the space to plant vegetables.

Some of the weeds had already reached her waist, and even if they were pulled out directly, the roots would remain in the soil and continue to grow in the future.

It's better to water first, and then it will be easy to pull out after watering the ground.

When Xu Xiaoyun separated, he got a bucket. Although the edge was a little damaged, it was useless.

After only lifting water from the river twice, my physical strength was basically exhausted.

"Xu Xiaoyun!"

"I'm here!"

Liu Dongsheng saw that the door was open, and there was no one inside, so he yelled, and when he heard the answer, he went around to the back of the house.

"Did you have breakfast? Here, baked sweet potatoes! Don't be embarrassed, this is saved from my ration. Are you carrying water?"

Xu Xiaoyun hesitated, and took the roasted sweet potato.

In fact, she ate breakfast, but she was a little hungry.

The sweet potato was only about the size of her palm. It was roasted in the ashes of the stove after cooking in the morning. The skin was already a little mushy, and the ash on it was basically cleaned off.

After tearing off the skin, the sweet potato skin was very thin, but because the meat inside was partially burnt, a large piece was torn off with orange-red meat.

Xu Xiaoyun gnawed on the meat on the skin, and there was a unique burnt aroma that could not be produced by roasting sweet potato machines in later generations.

"Is it sweet?" Liu Dongsheng asked.

Xu Xiaoyun nodded and tore off the skin, leaving only the meat.

"You take a bite?"

"I really want to bite you, so don't you want to eat my saliva?"

Xu Xiaoyun: "..."

Don't give it to him, she eats it herself!
Seeing Xu Xiaoyun's delicious food, although he didn't eat it, Liu Dongsheng felt very beautiful in his heart.

After he said that, he was still willing to eat what he gave. What does it mean? It means that he has something to play!

"Eat slowly, I'll carry water."

The sweet potatoes are especially soft, glutinous and sweet, better than Xu Xiaoyun's before.

"your hands……"

"It's okay, I'm wearing gloves!"

Liu Dongsheng took out a pair of white threaded gloves from his pocket, which was brought back by his second brother.

Knowing that he is prone to rashes when exposed to the sun, I specially brought it for him, but it is still very new. He has never used it at all, and he doesn’t work anyway.

Liu Dongsheng went to the male educated youth and borrowed a bucket and pole, hooked the bucket with a hook on the pole, and brought back two buckets of water in a short while.

With his help, by noon, several fields were watered.

After the water had soaked the ground, in the afternoon, Liu Dongsheng came over to help pull weeds and plant vegetables, and brought some vegetable seeds that were not used at home.

Xu Xiaoyun planted more than a dozen kinds of peppers, beans, lettuce, chrysanthemum, etc., and he definitely couldn't sleep and eat them.

Liu Dongsheng has been busy with her all day, and he doesn't look lazy at all.

After he left, Xu Xiaoyun poured some spiritual spring water into the ground.

For dinner, I fried some beans with the vegetables that Liu Dongsheng sent before. It seemed that the raw beans were poisonous, but in the end they were fried without accident, and I made another bowl of porridge.

It was still dark after eating, so Xu Xiaoyun walked through the village to go to the field to have a look.

In the village, many old people who had finished their meals were chatting outside with their children in the shade. Seeing Xu Xiaoyun, they asked her what she was going to do.

"Nothing, just go to the field and take a look!"

Wait until it gets dark before going to the fields?

After she left, Mrs. Xu began to criticize how lazy Xu Xiaoyun was at home.

"I don't cook, I don't wash the dishes after eating, and I can't even shout when I lie on the kang! Who would dare to want such a lazy woman!"

Let's not talk about laziness first, let's talk about fate, ordinary people dare not marry!

Liu Dongsheng, who received a report from Liu Lang saying that Xu Xiaoyun had gone to the field, went to chase after him, just in time to hear Mrs. Xu telling stories again.

The family is divided and it doesn't stop.

"I don't cook or wash dishes. I lie on the kang and don't want to get up. Are you scolding me?"

When Liu Dongsheng stood there, none of the women dared to say anything, how dare they!

Seeing a few people shut up, he snorted and walked away, rubbing his sore shoulders from time to time.

Once in a while, my body can't stand it.

When he woke up after sleeping all day, Liu Dongsheng couldn't even lift his arms.

"Mom, take it easy! It hurts!"

In the room, Miao Cuixiang was rubbing Liu Dongsheng's shoulders, which was actually greened by the shoulder pole.

"Don't you take a break when you're tired of carrying water? You don't do anything at home, but you're too lazy to beg for a wife."

Still a little sour.

"How can I say no to Xiaoyun! There are so many people in our family, it doesn't make any difference whether I do it or not. Mom, I'm also here to bring my daughter-in-law home as soon as possible. If I'm like Liu Lu, this You might not be able to find someone for the rest of your life.

But my mother is really hard, otherwise, I will cook a few more meals in the future so that my mother can rest! "

The word yes was on the edge of Miao Cuixiang's mouth, and finally said, "Forget it, you are the only one who is too good at wasting oil and salt, the family can't help it!"

Liu Dongsheng's dishes are delicious, and they use a lot of seasonings.

Liu's family didn't even have enough food, and the food grown in the field was not like some people who grew peanuts and soybeans that could be squeezed out for oil.

"Look, I said I would do it but didn't let me do it. I didn't mean to be lazy."

What responded to Liu Dongsheng was Miao Cuixiang's hand that suddenly increased strength.

Xu Xiaoyun is going to catch some fish.

Not only did she want to eat it herself, but she also wanted to grab two and give them to Liu Dongsheng. Carrying water and pulling weeds was a tiring job.

Others are probably used to it and don't think there's anything wrong with it. For him, it's definitely not, including Xu Xiaoyun himself who is tired enough.

She is quite good at eating fish, and catching fish, the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, and there was no tool related to catching fish in the space.

Xu Xiaoyun found a small piece of iron wire, bent it into a hook shape, and tied some lines, but this iron wire is too thin and soft, and the line is definitely not as strong as professional fishing line, so I don't know if it will work.

Then there is digging for earthworms.

Xu Xiaoyun was digging next to the vegetable field.

After digging several pits, I finally found a mass of earthworms.

Either you can't dig this thing, or you can find a lot of it.

Fortunately, she was not afraid of bugs, nor did she have trypophobia, so she found a broken bowl, put the earthworms in the broken bowl, and covered it with a plate.

There is almost no one on the river during the day.

The adults all went to farm, and the children were all studying at school when they were old enough to go to school. Those who were not yet old enough to go to school were even watched by adults, and they were not even allowed to come to the river.

The weather is hot and the sun is a bit dazzling.

Xu Xiaoyun stepped down the embankment carefully.

The soil by the river is relatively humid, and it is easy to stick to the soles of shoes. If you don’t pay attention, you can stick your shoes off. There are also a lot of grass, especially reeds.

Xu Xiaoyun chose a place, put everything down, took out a homemade fishhook, hung an earthworm on the hook, threw it down and waited for a long time without any movement.

Lifting the fishhook to see, the earthworms have long since disappeared. I don't know if they were washed away by the river or eaten by fish secretly.
